  1. 1.

    Which of the following statements correctly identifies an element family along with its group location and typical chemical behavior?

    • A) Alkali metals: Group 2 elements that are relatively unreactive and typically form 2−2-\mathrm{} anions.
    • B) Halogens: Group 17 elements that are highly reactive nonmetals and typically form 1−1-\mathrm{} anions.
    • C) Noble gases: Group 1 elements that are vigorously reactive gases with incomplete valence shells.
    • D) Alkaline earth metals: Group 16 elements that tend to gain two electrons during chemical reactions.
